ENGINE DETAIL
The Silver King 448 is powered by a Continental F-162 gasoline engine, providing adequate horsepower for light agricultural tasks and small-scale farming operations. With a displacement of 162ci (2.7L) and a bore/stroke of 3.4375x4.375 inches, the engine offers a balance between torque and efficiency at a rated RPM of 1800, making it suitable for cultivating, mowing, and other moderate-duty applications. However, its lower RPM may limit high-speed applications, and fuel efficiency could vary depending on load and operating conditions, necessitating careful planning for optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION
The Silver King 448 tractor features a basic transmission system with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing essential operational flexibility for standard farming activities. The simplicity of the gear configuration can be advantageous for novice operators but may limit speed and performance in more demanding applications. In scenarios requiring frequent directional changes, the single reverse gear might present a challenge compared to modern tractors with multiple reverse options.

MECHANICAL
The Silver King 448 tractor's 4x2 2WD chassis provides good maneuverability in flat terrain, but may struggle with traction on uneven surfaces. The manual steering system offers simplicity and ease of maintenance, although it requires more effort during tight turns. With a 4-speed transmission, the tractor can handle various agricultural tasks efficiently, but the lack of a standard cab may expose the operator to environmental conditions during prolonged use.
